Hercules Skimmer

The last dragonflies Erika and I saw on 16 July 2017 at the Braulio Carrillo National Park, San José, Costa Rica, were Hercules Skimmers (Libellula herculea). We saw them over the stream we followed back to the park headquarters. We also found this one in a garden at the edge of the parking lot. These large dragonflies prefer open areas, ditches, secondary growth and forest edges. They range from Mexico to Argentina.
